August 15, London IF Meetup hears from James Wallis on tabletop RPGs and storygames. This is a field where some of the most interesting narrative design is happening right now, and Wallis is an expert. As always, the event is free and there are drinks and hanging-out afterward.
inkle studios has announced ink jam, a jam for people writing in ink, running August 31-September 3.
November 10-11, AdventureX will return, this time at the British Library. AdventureX is a conference focused on narrative rich games, whether those are mobile or desktop, text-based or graphical; it’s grown significantly in size and professionalism over the last couple of years, and last year pretty definitively outgrew its previous venue. I am mentioning this well in advance because they’ve mentioned that tickets will be cheaper for early bird buyers — so it’s something to keep an eye on if you think you’ll want to go.
I forgot to write to you on time! So, here are two more links and events that are happening ASAP
First, the jam/competition for mythological narrative games I’m co-organising: Rayuela de Arena #RayuelaJam It is starting tomorrow!
It is an “only in Spanish” jam, but if you feel prompted by the theme, you can join forces with someone fluent in Spanish and participate
So, Submission open from August 1st 2018 AM to September 1st 2018. After that, there would be a phase of voting lasting another month.
At the same time the jam has been an event, so we have an index of online articles, talks, and tutorials of debate of IF in Spanish.
